InHand InRouter305 Cellular Router with WiFi, Ethernet Ports, Dual SIM, & CAT4 Performance

Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) applications are more remote and diverse than ever. By wirelessly connecting unattended systems such as ATMs, kiosks, digital signage, vending machines, and meters, owners can implement centralized management and control. Real-time monitoring, data collection, and diagnostics bring new levels of efficiencies and service. The InRouter305 (IR305) from InHand Networks is an industrial LTE router that offers these features. This small device integrates cellular, Wi-Fi, and VPN technologies to provide reliable and secure Internet connectivity. Certified for use with Verizon and AT&T, the IR305 provides uninterrupted CAT4 data rates. Its low power and cost make it an attractive solution for many wireless IoT applications.

With five Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi, and two SIM card slots, the IR305 includes the ability to backup and failover one WAN link to another. Should a line break or inadequate wireless coverage drop the primary communication link, automatic link-layer detection will switch to a secondary backup link. SIM failover, PPP layer detection, and self-recovery add to reliability and stability. The IR305 offers strong security protection with VPN, packet inspection, intrusion detection, ACL, filtering, and binding.

A full range of InHand management tools makes network deployment quick and straightforward. InHand Device Manager is a cloud platform offering remote monitoring, configuration, and management of hundreds of devices. You may set up a VPN tunnel between the client and a field controller, e.g., SCADA, upload software updates, remotely diagnose issues, and more.

Industrial communication infrastructure requires routers that can withstand many adverse environmental conditions. The IR305 was designed to resist current surges, voltage spikes, extreme temperatures, and electromagnetic interference. Optional DIN-rail mounting fits standard control panels and cabinets.
